15. Tommy - The first of The Who's two rock operas,Tommy was composed almost entirely by guitarist Pete Townshend. When it was released in 1969 many critics heralded it as the start of a new genre. We love it, not only because it was pioneering, but because the complex arrangements, constructed of everything from organs to guitars, compliment the films dark themes perfectly. While the soundtrack peaked at number two in the UK charts, it's the numerous inspirational spins offs it has inspired that show its true impact.
